The disappearance of the Z-8 helicopter into the night sky signifies the end of the combat mission at the Order's No. 1 base; all that remains is to wait for the personnel who have infiltrated the base to evacuate.

In the sky, the cruise missile detached from the pylon below the H-6 bomber, its glider opened, its engine ignited, and it quickly flew toward target number one.

At the same time, at the Dongfeng Express launch site in Shangqiu, a Dongfeng family rocket soared into the sky, relying on inertial guidance and relay guidance from a helium airship in the sky, flying towards 001.

After the long-range precision strike was launched, a countdown appeared in the helmets of the operatives.

The team members took turns providing cover as they retreated to the outside. The three teams placed high-energy explosives in the passageway to prevent the enemy from getting entangled and preventing them from being unable to evacuate in time.

What are you doing?

The elite mercenaries responsible for cleaning up the dungeon experimental subjects looked at the hunters who were being suppressed in an inner corner, and the hunter leader angrily questioned them.

"M-My lord...I...the enemy is too..."

Before the other man could finish speaking, the hunter leader chopped him down with an axe, blood splattering on his face. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at the hunters cowering behind cover: "Anyone who hesitates to fight will suffer this fate! Charge forward now! Immediately!"

"Yes...sir!"

The surrounding security guards swallowed hard, staring at their dead, unseeing eyes on the ground, then gritted their teeth and charged forward, brandishing their weapons of varying lengths... Some, seemingly to bolster their courage, couldn't help but shout, "Long live the Truth!"

The hunter leader watched with satisfaction as his hunters launched their charge. Normally, he wouldn't take such extreme measures against his men, as it would undoubtedly alienate them. But this was a special case.

The distant explosions gave the hunter leader an ominous feeling; he sensed that something beyond his control was happening...

As soon as the security guards rushed out, they were all shot down by the enemy within seconds. The leader carefully observed the weapon the enemy was using and immediately discovered that it was a weapon similar to an orbal gun, but louder and with stronger penetrating power!

The hunter leader ordered the elite hunters behind him, "Prepare the shields, we'll launch the next charge!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

Soon, three or four hunters appeared, each holding a shield in one hand and a short weapon in the other, their heavy armor giving them a medieval knightly air...

After preparations were complete, the leader looked at the remaining team of security guards. Their faces turned ashen. They stepped forward and stood in front of the elite guards. It wasn't that they didn't want to resist, but the long-standing "ideological imprint" and the influence of their families made them dare not resist at all.

"Charge! Ah..."

The lead hunter was mowed down by the Type 95 squad automatic weapon on the unmanned vehicle as soon as he charged out... The gun was then turned on the other hunters and fired in short bursts, killing them.

"Now!"

After seeing that the first wave of hunters had almost all died, the hunter leader was a little confused about where the enemies who had been firing earlier had gone. However, he thought it was a good thing that there were fewer enemies, so he couldn't help but shout.

The hunter wielding the shield charged out first, and the unmanned vehicle immediately turned its guns towards the hunter.

Ta-da...Gah?

After firing two bullets and killing an elite hunter, the ammunition box was empty.

Ammunition...run out...

Implement Plan B...

The program quickly performed a self-check, and upon discovering that its ammunition was depleted, it accelerated to full speed and charged towards the elite hunters, seemingly ready for close combat...

"Get out of the way, leave this enemy to me!"

The hunter leader raised his battle axe high and delivered a powerful, split-throwing blow to the unmanned vehicle, sending the Type 95 squad automatic weapon, which had missed its target, flying. Just as he was about to deliver the fatal blow, the unmanned vehicle instantly turned into light...

boom!

How could a rabbit's driverless car not have a self-destruct device?

The high-energy bomb inside the unmanned vehicle detonated, spraying out countless shrapnel and tiny tungsten steel beads along with fragments of the vehicle, instantly turning the hunter leader into mincemeat. The hunters behind him, armed with shields, also perished.

The power of a directional blast is something a shield can't withstand; the elite hunters were blown away along with their shields...

"Hurry! Hurry!!"

As the captain watched the countdown tick away second by second, and the several bright spots that were getting closer and closer on the retinal projection, he urged his team members on, for the mission would not wait for anyone!

After the team members ran out of the cult's stronghold, they immediately detonated the explosives placed inside the stronghold, destroying the evacuation route. Without wasting a second, they boarded two Z-8 transport planes and flew into the sky without looking back.

Once they were out of a safe distance, the optical sensors on the team members' general combat suits detected several bright spots in the sky, quickly passing overhead.

Compared to the first time the cult branch was exposed, this time it was much more respectable: ten bunker buster bombs, six thermobaric bombs, and three N2 explosive bombs with delayed fuses.

The rocket engine propelled the cruise missile high into the air, before it plunged into the mountain at a near 90-degree vertical angle.

The first wave of attacks still used bunker buster bombs, and all manned aircraft stayed away, relying entirely on drones for terminal guidance.

DUANG~DUANG~DUANG~

Three bunker buster bombs crashed into the mountain in succession, immediately exploding violently and blowing away the outer layer of the mountain to expose the internal structure. A second wave of thermobaric bombs then performed a secondary "sterilization."

The intense heat rapidly depleted the oxygen in the cult's stronghold. The hunters and cult members clutched their throats, but no matter how desperately they tried to breathe, opening their mouths wide, they couldn't get a single breath of oxygen. Like stranded fish, they suffocated.

This agony didn't last long. The intense heat from the thermobaric bomb explosion washed away the evil hidden within the cult's stronghold, incinerating all the hunters into black carbonized remains...

Because the passageways inside the stronghold were destroyed, the flames had nowhere to go but spew out from the gaps created by the bunker-buster bombs, like a volcanic eruption, with orange-red pillars of fire shooting into the sky... as if preparing for the sunrise.

Although it wasn't the first time they had seen a thermobaric weapon, Bell and Tio's eyes still lit up. Then, the real sun rose!

Three N2 bombs slammed into the cult's stronghold. The N2 bombs, equipped with time-delay fuses, detonated almost simultaneously, and the huge roar echoed through the mountains, instantly dispelling the darkness.

The mountain disintegrated in a violent explosion, sending a mushroom cloud soaring into the sky.

Chapter 136 Wrong Set~

Hoo-ha... Hoo-ha...

Gasping for breath, Wuxiang pulled her weapon from the monster's body and bandaged the wound on her thigh. She never expected that the enemy was not human, but a monster she had never seen before!

One hour ago...

Upon entering the cult headquarters on the outskirts of Altair, the deserted outpost immediately unsettled the agents of the "Smith Agency," the intelligence department of the Republic of Calva.

Throughout the entire base, there were no orbal lamps; all lighting was provided by candles, giving Kirika the illusion of returning to a chaotic era.

The operators, armed with orbment guns and melee weapons, formed an exploration formation and ventured into the interior of the demonic kiln.

However, whether it was just their imagination or not, they always felt that in the darkness where the candlelight couldn't reach, there was a pair of greedy eyes staring intently at them!

Upon entering a hall next to a passageway, all the Smith Agency agents frowned. A huge vertical pupil symbol was engraved on the wall inside the hall, with a precious purple gemstone inlaid in the center of the pupil.

Just looking at the cult's insignia on the wall felt like a pair of eyes were really watching them.

An agent from the Smith Agency spat. "A cult using such precious gems to make a mark, they must be rolling in money!"

However, in stark contrast to the gemstone emblems are the dried, dark red marks on the ground, which are the marks left by dried blood. It can only be preliminarily determined that this place was likely used for "sacrifice".

After searching the area that resembled a sacrificial hall without finding any clues, Kirika pondered for a moment. Such a large underground structure meant that they would have to split up to explore it... and her experience told her that splitting up in an unfamiliar environment was a big no-no!

At that moment, she couldn't help but think of the drones used by the people of Shangqiu that could find their own land. The existence of such devices could avoid a great deal of trouble and minimize personnel losses...

I heard that the technical departments of the Republic of Calva and Rebonia have begun to learn from the people of Shangqiu... The people of Shangqiu have shown them the way to development.

Drones, long-range weapons, and all sorts of high-yield bombs! No wonder they're called the hope of the mainland!

"Director, we've been... " A Smith agency agent said angrily, looking at the scene before him.

"Enough! Internal matters will be investigated by special personnel after the operation is over... Our current mission is to rescue the children who have been kidnapped by the cult! It concerns the reputation of the Republic of Kalva."

This joint operation is not just about saving lives; it's also a competition!

Five forces acting together... well, Klopp doesn't count, he's just there to make up the numbers.

Which faction—the Rebonian Empire, the Republic of Calva, Shangqiu, or the Kingdom of Bel—is the fastest and rescues the most children? That faction will have the highest score.

If the Republic of Calva scores too low at this point... it might reveal the weakness of its old rival, the Rebonian Empire, putting it at a strategic disadvantage.

"Director Wuxiang, what do we do now?"

Kirika immediately realized that the only option for exploring such a large underground base was to split up. If they explored together, who knew how long it would take? She couldn't help but regret not bringing more people with her, so as not to cause any trouble, since she knew more than the other operators.

The cult has a very close relationship with certain members of parliament, and indeed it has been proven that they are very close, as such confidential operations are leaked to the cult!

"Next, we'll split up..."

Immediately, the Smith agency agents beside him tensed up slightly. They were aware of the danger of splitting up and gripped their weapons tightly, as only their weapons could give them a sense of security.

"Sam, take the operators and explore the adjacent area. Don't stray too far, and be careful!"

Sam nodded and led seven or eight operators toward the adjacent area.

"Aya... take your men and explore the other side. Call us immediately if anything happens."

"Understood, Director!"

Aya, carrying a knight's sword, led her people away.

After dividing the people into three teams that were not far apart, Wuxiang stopped splitting them up. The operators turned on the flashlights they had bought in Shangqiu. The bright white flashlights illuminated the surrounding area and dispelled the darkness.

The sense of security brought by the light made the Smith team members feel much more at ease. It has to be said that Shangqiu people really have a lot of good things!

Twenty minutes later, the expected attack did not occur, which relieved Kirika. As long as there were no casualties, it was good. After all, as the leader of the operators, it was her responsibility to bring them back safely.

However, the results of the exploration greatly annoyed her. It was clear that the cult members had long been prepared to leave, and had even had ample time to pack their belongings...

"Those damn politicians!"

These guys have completely disregarded the interests of the Republic of Kalva for their own benefit!

"Chief, we haven't found any clues here..."

"Hmm... let's call it a day... let's move on to another area..."

"understand!"

Soon, all the operators who had been exploring around Kiri returned, except for Sam's team.

Kirika's heart tightened immediately. As a rigorously trained operator, it was impossible for her to make such a basic mistake, which meant that the operator had been attacked by an unknown force!

"!!!"

As if confirming her guess, the distinctive gunshot of the orbal gun, accompanied by human screams, came from afar. Kirika hurriedly led the operators towards the area where the incident occurred.

Before we even got close, the air was filled with the smell of rust and a strange stench!

"what!"

A scream came from around the corner, followed by the sound of flesh and bone being torn apart, like a chicken carcass being shredded...

creak...click...

The agents swallowed hard. A sense of danger made their scalps tingle, and goosebumps spread from their backs to their necks, as if an invisible, icy hand was stroking their backs.
